When the lowest possible noise is required the maser amplifier remains the unquestionable amplifier choice for moderate bandwidth microwave and long wavelength millimeterwave receivers. The reason for the outstanding low noise properties of the maser is partly that it is cooled to a few degrees K (≲ 4 K) but also that the amplification process is the most fundamental one, i.e. amplification takes place when quanta (photons) are added directly to the signal field by stimulated emission of radiation from energetically excited particles.
